Section 2 - Similarity Search


Section 2 describes routines within Polymetrics used for similarity searches. Similarity search can be used for

  1. Application/Product development - identifying alternatives based on specified criteria.
  2. Data Selection - selecting balanced datasets for supervised learning.
  3. Competitive Analysis - Reviewing competitive offerings and identifying white spaces.

Presently similarity search within Polymetrics uses the kNN method with a predefined tolerance for identifying similar products. The data is visualized in an interactive heatmap and can also be obtained in a tabulated form.
